A traditional stone-fronted mid-terrace offering spacious living across three storeys, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking character and room to grow. The ground floor has a comfortable lounge and a well-equipped fitted kitchen with integrated appliances; two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom occupy the first floor. Two attic rooms on the second floor provide extra space for home office, hobbies or occasional guests but have restricted head height typical of converted lofts.
Practical positives include gas central heating, double glazing, an enclosed paved rear yard with storage sheds, and a freehold title. The property extends to about 947 sq ft and is being sold chain-free, allowing a quicker move. Local amenities are convenient — Shaw & Crompton tram stop is within walking distance and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are close by.
Buyers should note this is in a very deprived area with a neighbourhood profile of private-renting new arrivals; nearby facilities and transport links help, but social and economic factors may affect long-term demand. The stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated and the install date of double glazing is unknown, so energy-efficiency improvements and insulation work are likely if lower running costs or higher EPC are a priority.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful terrace with immediate usability and clear scope to improve energy performance and internal finish. It suits a buyer who wants independent ownership without a chain and is prepared to invest modestly to modernise and increase comfort or rental appeal.
